| Summary | 0009690: Maltego doesn't start because of incompatible JRE version | ||||
| Description | Maltego doesn’t start on Kali 2026.01, because default JRE for Kali (OpenJDK JRE 25) permanently disabled Security Manager which Maltego needs. Related logs: Oracle documentation for JRE 24 stated that Security Manager has been permanently disabled. I suggest starting Maltego with JRE 21 which is still available in official Kali repository | ||||
